FES took a 7-5 lead in the third inning and went on to win 14-5.“We started good. We were up 5-0. [FES] shut the gate on the pen,” Wolf Point head coach Bruce Knerr said.“We’re super young,” Knerr said of the Mosquitoes, which are largely 12- and 13-year-olds.“We have nine kids coming back next year. No other team has that many coming back,” he said. Fifteen is the maximum age for Babe Ruth Baseball. “They’re young. They’re competitive.”Knerr noted that the Mosquitoes have beaten Scobey, which is the best team in the district.During a previous doubleheader with FES that was played at Glasgow, Wolf Point lost both games after taking leads. The Mosquitoes recently split a doubleheader with the Oilers at Culbertson.Plentywood visited Wolf Point for a doubleheader Monday, June 16. The results were not made available.
